RE: manager subscription model for notifications: usage survey

["David B Harrington" <dbharrington@comcast.net>]

Hi,

Not trying to impress, just pointing out the need for scalability to
more than 10k or 30k devices, and the need to keep things simple.

The management was very simple as far as I know. It was an academic
campus. Management included initial configuration for things like "who
should I talk to?" and notifications when items in the vending
machines ran low. This saved a lot of "polling" by humans having to go
to the physical machines. I'm not sure how much other management was
done.
